CADENCE - ALEXANDER LASHERAS (2014)

Written and directed by American filmmaker Alexander Lasheras, Cadence is a psychological thriller about a young woman whose grip on reality begins to loosen when her boyfriend’s drunken bandmates turn up at the isolated family farm where she and her boyfriend were having an intimate vacation. It is hard for the audience to know what is real and what she is imagining as the film uses various tropes from the supernatural and horror genre. Cleverly made, the tension rises as one of the friends seems to have designs on our heroine. However, made as a proof of concept for a feature film, the ending is a little unsatisying in its open-endedness. If you like Cadence by Alexander Lasheras be sure to rate it and share it.
